The gust of wind could be heard in the distance through the sound of the trees. The tall evergreens, full with their green needles, made a soft hiss. The maples without their leaves made a harder sound, more of a whipping sound. The cars passing by on the road seemed to be moving a lot slower as if the drivers were taking their time in the hot spring evening. Behind me the cat was in a full prowl looking for anything – a moving leaf, a small twig or a mouse. The sky was full of stars and these heavenly bodies were surrounded by vast space that seemed so empty.

Everything that is made of substance in nature seems to reach it potential and die. Mankind is the only thing in nature that creates psychological substances such as beliefs, opinions and attitudes that prevent relationship, which is a hindrance to compassion and love.

Space is holding everything together. When we have too much mass physically it takes huge amounts of energy to fuel our mass. Psychologically we have a huge amount of content pertaining to our self or ego and we become so tired and worn out from maintaining our beliefs and identifications. Everything needs space to exist. Mass is energy, and yet emptiness contains more energy than mass. Everything in the universe is held together by emptiness. If man could only empty his person or subjective mind he would be a new creature, capable of love and compassion that would feed the hungry and care for the disadvantaged. When thought is put in its place, the brain is quiet, attentive and rich. That richness is the ending of all his psychological problems. One is out of the confines of the subjective mind. To be free from this mind you must understand how you are caught. To see how you are caught is to see your violence to another, your interaction with your spouse, child, family member or neighbor. It is also to be able to see the importance you place on material things such as the house you want or have, the car you drive, your money, property and how it is still superficial. To see your identifications of the ego in the violence of accumulation of beliefs, opinions, ideas, and ideals is to cut the very root of the ego itself. Very few people want to go beyond thinking because they must let go of the known. That known, which creates self or the subjective mind, is fear itself, trapped in time.
